"Words.....how innocent and powerless they are as they stand separately in a dictionary.....how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them." - Nathaniel Hawthorne

“Laurie Lonsdale has written the most action-packed “Behind the Music” episode ever!!” Chris Dugan – Editor – Metal Dreams

“Wild Side is a sexy, saucy, rock ‘n’ roll thriller that empowers, enlightens, and – most importantly – entertains.” R. Scott Bolton – Editor – RoughEdge.com

“Wild Side is a tidy little thriller in addition to portraying the best and worst of fame's rewards. Such a life is not all fun and frolic, and the author does a good job of showing both sides. The language and sexual situations are graphic so the book is recommended for mature readers. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be a famous rock band - warts and all - check this one out.” - Laurel Johnson - MidWest Book Reviewer

Laurie Lonsdale has proven once again to create an emotionally charged adventure, impossible to put down. --- Vickie Hoskin of Copygirl Reviews

Four of Hearts is an ace high flush, five-card read. --- Charlene Austin of the Writers and Readers Network

This book will heighten your sense of self discovery. A must read for women of all ages, and would make a beautiful adaptation for the screen. Heidi Mole – TV Production Manager & Story Producer
